Verse 1:
   A augmentedA      D MajorD   E MajorE
To a world we'll not remember
     A augmentedA    D MajorD
When we're old and tired
    A augmentedA    D MajorD   E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD
We'll be blowing on the embers of a little fire
      A augmentedA    D MajorD   E MajorE      A augmentedA  D MajorD
We were the tallest person watching in Chesapeake
  A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE     A augmentedA    Dmaj7Dmaj7
You put me on your shoulders so I could see

Chorus:
D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
I was all covered in sound
 A augmentedA          D MajorD
Ear plugs so it wasn't loud
D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
Swallowed up by the crowd
    A augmentedA              D MajorD
Didn't know what they were singing about
A augmentedA         D MajorD
I can't hardly wait
  A augmentedA        D MajorD
For someone to replace

It was hot in the arena
    A augmentedA     D MajorD
Good men die like dogs
  A augmentedA  D MajorD    E MajorE      A augmentedA    Dmaj7Dmaj7
My hero plays to no one, in a parking lot
  A augmentedA        D MajorD    E MajorE
Even though there's no one around
A augmentedA           D MajorD
He broke a leg and the house came down
A augmentedA    D MajorD    E MajorE
A augmentedA smattering of applause
     A augmentedA        D MajorD
A augmentedA sliver moon and a cover song

Bridge:
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Oh sweet child of mine
       A augmentedA                 D MajorD
You're always sorry for everything, never apologize
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Oh sweet child of mine
    A augmentedA                       Dmaj7Dmaj7
Now you stand on the corner and hope you get recognized


Chorus:
D MajorD     A augmentedA     E MajorE
I was all covered in sound
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
When you asked me to turn it down
D MajorD      A augmentedA      E MajorE
Didn't even think it was loud
A augmentedA        D MajorD  Dmaj7Dmaj7 D MajorD
Can you hear it now?

End on A augmentedA :)
